Phone keeps beeping every hour or so

SuperJess — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 23:12:23 GMT

I don't know why, and it's driving me crazy!
Just after the upgrade to lollipop it started to play a two beeps sound every hour or less, even at night with all sounds turned off. What should I try?

Hi SuperJess,

Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines

Is the tone the same as a notification tone or is it something you have never heard before?

The tone is something I've never heard before and there's no notification nor the led is lighting up.

It makes that sound especially at night! Please help! I've tried to repair with PC but it doesn't work!

Could it be something related to smart connect? Or do you have the full charge sound enabled?

It's not the full charge sound, because it's the first thing I checked. For smart connect I don't know, let me try.

No notification enabled. If it could help I've got the Smartband Talk and Lifelong always connected, but there are no notification options for this two!

@Hampus @Johan Can you take a look?

Do you by chance have NFC turned on and if so if you turn it off does the beeping stop?

Sorry for not replying earlier. I had other issues with my phone such as my SD card broke and all my apps in it were corrupted, so I had to format completely it and restore all applications and settings. Now it's alright.

I had to format my phone aswell.

Hi Jake,

I have to follow up on this issue (as I don't want to format my SD...)

My Z2 upgraded to Lollipop perfectly and works fine, but I have the same annyoing beeps as described before:

* I never heard the sound before, if's a kind of soft beep-beep at low volume.

* LED is not lighting up

* there's no notification added

* I didn't install any new apps after upgrading to lollipop

* the sound is played even if I set my phone to silent/no vibration

* the sound is played over the BT-Headset when I'm talking while it happens

* there are variable delays between sounds. I'd say from 30 to 60 minutes.

I checked all apps that could issue sounds in that manner, but to no avail.

Have you any ideas, what I could check?

Hi MarcWinter,

As stated above, do you have NFC turned on?

Menu > Settings > More > NFC

Hi Jake,

sorry - forgot to mention that:

Yes. But this happens when there is no Tag around whatsoever: for example when the phone is in the dock during the night oder while having it laying on the table.

EDIT: Tried it today with NFC off. Same thing. This time, while listening to an audiobook in my car via BT.

That is quite odd, there are no other functions I can think of, you could try removing any third party apps and see if the issue continues.

Hi Marc,

My Xpreia Z3 compact also beeped after updating it to Android Lollipop and I found out that it was the Voice Control extension for Smartband Talk that caused it. It was periodically complaining that it couldn't find a supported text-to-speech engine. After uninstalling it, the beeping stopped. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Peter
